Converting eV to J

[Jose Munoz 1D]

In chapter 1 question 69, we are given the work function in eV, how do I convert that to Joules.

[Jocelyn Fermin1J]

Hello, I found 1 eV = 1.602176565e-19 J, so i believe you would multiply the amount of eVs they give to 1.602176565e-19 J

[JooHyun Koh 1H]

As stated above, 1 eV = 1.60218 * 10^-19 J; however, sometimes eV will have the same prefixes that the metric system uses, so it's important to take that into account. For example 1 keV = 1000 eV, and then u can convert that to joules if necessary.

Will we be expected to remember how many Joules are in an eV for Test 2, the midterm, and the final?

[Kuldeep Gill 1H]

The conversion factor from eV to J is given on the cover sheet of the test
